1 Kull and liecvo unci 1 Indian Wagtail. 
AviAKY No. 3: This aviary lias excellent natural! cover, 
both as to bushes, evergreens, and herbage. The birds thrive 
in it and there are annually some breeding results. Here I 
saw the female Pope Cardinal, bred here in 1911, whose 
history aiope^irs on pages 156-7 of current volume. Also 
young Californian (^uail were seen scuttling from cover to 
cover. This aviary contained:— 
.1 pair l?osy I'astors {Pastor roseus). 
1 pair Mexican Sparrows (I think, Sycalin arvensis, but could not 
get close enough to be sure). 
1 pair Virginian Cardinals (Cardinalin cardirmlis) . 
1 pair Pope Cardinals {Paroaria larvalu) . 
1 Pair Pekin Eobins (.Liothrix lulens). 
1 pair Blackbirds {Turdus merula), the cock a pied specimen and 
the hen a true albino. 
1 pair Cape Sparrows {Pastor arcuatus). 
1 pail' Black -headed Nuns {Mania atricapilla). 
1 pair Californian Quails {Lophorl i/x californicus) . 
1 hen Green Cardinal {Gub&rnatrix crislatn). 
1 Dyal Bird {Copsychus saularia). 
1 hen Albino Sparrow {Passer domesticuss. 
1 Mocking Bird {Mimus polygiotlus) . 
5 Senegal Uoves {Turtur senerjalensis) . 
AviAKY No. 4: Similar to No. 2 and 3, but smaller, 
most of the cover being artihcial. This might well have been 
called the Waxbill aviary as little else was to l>e found 
therein. It contained pairs of the following species: — 
Grey Waxbills {Eslrilda cinerea). 
Orange -cheeked Waxbills {Sporoeffinthus melpodus). 
Oranlge-treasted Waxbills {S. subflavus) . 
St. Helena Waxbills {Eslrilda astrilda). 
Red Avadavuits {Sporu't/in/Ims umandava) . 
Black-headed Nuns {Munia atricapilla). 
Spice Finches {Munia punctulata) . 
Sharp-tailed Finches {Uroloncha acutimuda) . 
All looking as fit and hapxjy as could be — some were 
nesting. 
Thk Cranbs Paddock: This was a large piece; of 
ground, containing several trees and bushes and a small pond, 
the whole enclosed with iron fencing and wire netting. It

a specimen indeed and the three species kept are certainly
